Article Synopsis
- The study focused on comparing lung volume differences between the semi-prone (Sim's position) and side-lying positions.
- Measurements were taken using MRI while participants were in both positions, revealing that total lung capacity didn’t significantly differ between the two, except in specific instances with the left and right lungs.
- The results indicated that Sim's position enhanced lung expansion in the dorsal segment of the nondependent lung, especially in the right lung, while gravity impacted heart placement and lung space distribution.
